As a result of the delayed school schedule, the Library will offer extra programs:
Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. Book Cover Craft Ages 5 to 12
Thursday at 2:30 p.m. School's Out Spelling Bee Ages 6 to 12

We're open!

Hi, everyone!

Woke up very excited this morning that the power was back on at work and we could be here with doors open and smiles to welcome Hurricane Irene survivors (do you have the t-shirt yet?!). So we're open, and come on down and enjoy our electricity if yours is out or if you just need to get out of the house.  And for those kids who are missing school, I put out coloring pages and worksheets for those Lisa Simpsons in the town!

P.S. I won't tell you about Tropical Storm Katia, formed in the same place H. Irene was!

Weather Tips

Families looking for tips on this weekend's wet and windy weather can find them at the State of CT's Department of Emergency Management website. Have a plan and stay safe!

September events

September events are now posted on the Library calendar.  We hope you'll join us for Storytime, Science Kids, and many other programs throughout the fall.

Please call us with questions! We're at 203.385.4165.

Summer Reading ended Saturday, but lists can still be printed

The prizes and raffles ended Saturday, but you can still access your child's record to print out their list of books. Visit http://www.libraryinsight.net/rplogon.asp?jx=sf&rp=774&i=1 to get to summer reading!

Water Carnival Postponed to Thursday

Due to an uncertain weather forecast, the Water Carnival will now be this Thursday at 3 p.m. Hope to see you all there!

Watch the Weather for the Water Carnival

We're watching the weather for Tuesday's water carnival. Please call us at 203.385.4165 with questions about the weather. If it's thundering, we will postpone; sprinkling, probably not.

Last Week of Summer Reading

This is the last week of summer reading! Stop by this week to record any last minute books, receive the last prize of the week, or join us for the Water Carnival, Square Dancing, or Reader's Theatre. Please see the calendar for details.

Fall storytime and program schedule will be available soon!

Fire Department Date Change

Due to training, the Stratford Fire Department will visit us Thursday (NOT WEDNESDAY!) at 10:30 a.m. starting in the Lovell Room and then outside to the fire truck!  We apologize for the inconvenience, but we think the weather agrees with us; Wednesday is supposed to be icky!
